Tasting involves many different cell-signaling processes that ultimately generate nerve signals transduced by membrane depolariz

ation. Sweet tastes result in PIP2 hydrolysis, while salty tastes allow sodium ions to directly alter the membrane potential. What can you deduce about the signaling mechanisms for sweet and salty?
Choose one or more:

A. Sweet ligands bind to and close sodium channels, which starts a membrane potential.
B. Sodium ions directly enter the cells, indicating the signal is transduced by an ion channel.
C. Sweet and salty signaling pathways use the same taste receptor molecule, but with different efficacy on the sweet and salty taste center in the brain.
D. Sweet utilizes the GPCR signaling pathway, activating phospholipase C.

Answer:

B.  Sodium ions directly enter the cells, indicating the signal is transduced by an ion channel.

D. Sweet utilizes the GPCR signaling pathway, activating phospholipase C.

Explanation:

The taste received by the taste buds is processed through different channels

a) The Sweet, bitter, and umami tastes  are transduced by the GPCR (G-protein-coupled receptors) signaling pathway

b) Sour taste reaches the taste bud through the acidification of acid-sensitive membrane proteins with in the taste cell

c) The epithelial sodium channels in the renal tissues directly takes up the salty taste

Hence, option B and D are correct

1. If a pea plant’s alleles for height are tt, what is true of its parents?
omeli [17]
1. C) Both parents contributed a recessive allele
The offspring is homozygous for the recessive allele, which means it has two copies of it. Because each parent contributes one copy of the gene, this means that both parents contributed the recessive allele.

2. D) The offspring can be tall or short

The first cross between TT and tt will yield an F1 generation with the genotype Tt. When this generation is self-pollinated, the cross may result in the following genotypes:
TT, Tt, tt
Which means that the offspring can be tall or short.

Compare neap and spring tides. Give two comparisons in your answer.
Shtirlitz [24]
<span>Please remember that spring tides occur approximately twice a month, when the earth and moon and sun are about co-linear. That is about at full moon and about at new moon. Neap tides occur at half moons, when the moon is off to the side of the line between earth and sun. I hope this can help</span>
